590 $aBoston Public Library (Rare Books Department) copy bound in early calfskin panelled in blind. The spine is rebacked with a red leather label. The armorial bookplate of Lionell Copley, Esq. (here conjectured to be a descendent of the first Royal Governor of Maryland) is present on the front pastedown. The first leaf (title page) and the last leaf contain numerous, ca. 16th-century inscriptions. On the title page, the name "Thomas" is inscribed just above the privilege and the name of the printer is copied, in a Gothic hand, along the fore-edge. On the recto of the final leaf, there are various tracings and illegible pen marks. On the verso of the same leaf is a lengthy passage, in a secretary hand, under which appears the inscription "This boke does be long unto John Abbotte [Allotte?], 1583. The name "Thomas" is again inscribed beneath that.
